Professor of Health Promotion and Policy Aline Gubrium has been named one of the nine winners of the 2023 UMass ADVANCE Faculty Peer Mentor Award.

This annual award recognizes the critically important work faculty members perform in mentoring and supporting their colleagues’ professional development and success. The winners were selected from a competitive pool of nominees and were honored by Provost Tricia Serio during the ADVANCE Distinguished Lecture on March 28.

“We congratulate this year’s ADVANCE faculty mentor award winners for the important work they do as mentors and sponsors of their colleagues,” said Laurel Smith-Doerr professor of sociology and ADVANCE PI. “Peer mentoring is an important component of faculty equity. It helps build inclusive communities and makes UMass faculty feel valued and included.”

Gubrium serves as head of the Community Health Education program. She has extensive experience in innovative research methodologies that focus on narrative, participatory, and arts- and culture-centered approaches. A medical anthropologist with expertise in sexual and reproductive health inequities, specifically experienced by historically marginalized communities and families, she is Co-PI on the Massachusetts Department of Public Health-funded STRIVE study. STRIVE is a comprehensive, four-year investigation using participatory research methods with two diverse communities in the state to examine how structural racism, in combination with other systems of oppression, contributes to inequitable adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) outcomes for youth. Gubrium has also recently served as MPI on an NIMHD-funded project, “MOCHA Moving Forward: A CBPR Investigation of Chronic Disease Prevention in Older, Low-Income African-American Men,” which takes a CBPR approach to evaluate the effectiveness of a narratively enhanced intervention in lowering stress and risk of chronic diseases among men of color.
